She is spot on is recognizing that Albany simply does not have the money to continue doing everything it always has. Twenty thousand simply isn’t that much money to raise–heck, the bars in town should contribute happily.

Have people pass the hat on parade day–you could come up with a large chunk of it.

I wonder which Dan the Grand Ole Punters are going to back? My guess is McCoy, just like the last “election”.

Better yet, which pro gay marriage candidate Richard Stack and the CONservatives are going to back. Last time Richard supported McCoy at a fundraiser at Rocks.

Questions, questions!

Tue, 24 Feb 2015 16:35:32 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/localpolitics/?p=16428#comment-102559Interesting that the Egan camp is questioning Sheehan’s progressive bona fides given how they fell all over themselves to support her when she was stampeding her way into the Treasurer’s office. They also applauded her decision to seek the Mayor’s office after ONE TERM as Treasurer and were more than happy to tell all their progressive friends about her (I got the mailers to prove it). It will be very interesting to watch how hard “progressives” are willing to sling the mud knowing they will all more likely than not coalesce around another candidate next year.

Was that during the time he was President? Was the issue even on his radar?
